Taunton approves new WVBF (1530 Middleborough Center) tower

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

The signal cancellation tower?

"Callahan said the existing Taunton tower prevents his signal from
interfering with a small Newport talk station located on the dial at 1540
AM."

Im confused by that statement and what Taunton has to do with WVBF's tower
that isnt in Taunton.

He has no APPs or CPs on file.
